I Love at Long Range ? fe WW&WWWWWUIW* Charles O'Meara was an operator i New York on one side of a qnadn plexed wire running to Chicago. Tl operator on the corresponding side -i Chicago was Miss Amy Davidson. Bo1 were expert, and the manner in whic they kept their message hoots clej excited the admiration of the chief i their respective ofBces. O'Meara was handsome and intelligent young Irisl man, with jet black hair and inustacr and great, soulful blue eyes-oi^e of tl kind of men who seem almost un coi sciously to possess the power of fascin: tion over women. After having worked the wire t< gether a few months O'Meara and Mi: Davidson became well acquainted, a though, of course, neither had ever see the other. They had abundant oppoi tunities for conversation in the earl morning before the rush of business fe the day began and in the late aftei noon when the rush was over. There is a sort of telepathy in te] egrapby, as all telegraphers admit, an there certainly was in this case. Lon "before any word of love had passed ove the wire between them each had b? come conscious of a tender regard fo the other. O'Meara could recognize i; an instant the touch of a strange han on the key in Chicago, and Miss David son was as quickly conscious of th change when any other than O'Meara' hand manipulated the transmitter h Kew York. There is as much that i distinctly characteristic in the manne: in which telegraphers form the dot and dashes as there is in the manifoh forms of chirography. One morning Amy complained o: feeling ill. "I am afraid," she said *4that I will have to give up and g< home. I would do so surely if I coule afford to lose the time. My head ache; dreadfully. Dear me ! What would m^ mother and sister do if I should becom* really sick ? They have nobody to tak< care of .them but me." There was a tremulousness in the dot: and dashes which plainly *ndicativ! tc O'Meara that the girl, a thousand miles away, was weeping softly, as indeed she /was, with her head resting wearilj against the resonator containing the sounder. He replied : "Try to stick it out today, dear. We will take it easy, and perhaps you will feel better by tomorrow. At any rate, don't worry." It was the first time he had used any term of endearment in their inter? course, and she was much affected. But she brightened up a little and managed to struggle through the day's work. Next morning O'Meara found a strange operator at the Chicago end of the wire, and when he inquired for Miss Davidson he was told that she was very ill The poor fellow realized now, if he never had before, that he was deeply in love with a woman he had never seen. He became so fretful and irritable as to excite comment among the others in the office. "What on earth is the matter with O'Meara?" asked one of the operators on the opposite side of the "quad" of the man who sat at the next instru ' ment. "I guess he's in love with that Chi? cago girl who is sick, " was the reply. One morning the answer made by the Chicago operator to O'Meara's inquiry as to Miss Davidson's condition con? tained but one word-"Dead!" O'Meara uttered a kind of moan, and his head fell upon his desk. When one of the chiefs aroused him, he found the young man's face flushed and his eyes bloodshot O'Meara was sent home, where he remained for weeks suffering from a severe attack of brain fever. When at last he had recovered and re? turned to the office to report for duty, the chief told him to take his usual seat at the Chicago quadruplex. "If you'd justas lief give me another wire, I'd rather have it," O'Meara said. "I don't think I care to work with Chicago any more. " There was a twinkle in the eye of the chief as he said : "You used to do some fine work on that Chicago wire." "Perhapsso," O'Meara replied sadly, "but ? had a fine operator to work with." "Well," said the chief, "that's a fine operator there yet-the same one, I be? lieve, that was there before. " "That cannot be-for she is dead!" This with a great sob. "I think you had better return to the old wire, for the present at least," the chief said. "Then, if you are not satis? fied, I will transfer you to some other circuit" O'Meara walked slowly over to his old place to relieve the man who was at the moment receiving some messages from Chicago. As he neared the instru? ment and heard the characters coming with a dearly loved and familiar sound his heart almost stopped beating so overwhelming was the surge of emo? tion. He listened a moment until at the beginning of another message came the signal of the sending operator. "A. D. " "Who, in heaven's name, is there in Chicago," he almost shouted, "that dares to sign 'A. D. V " "Amy Davidson, of course." was his friend's reply. "Don't trifle with me," O'Meara cried. "Amy Davidson is dead!" "Not by a long shot, " said the oper? ator, making way for O'Meara. "It was only a rumor that some chuckle headed ass accepted as a fact. She has been back at work for two weeks or more. From the manner in which she has inquired al>out you every day I should imagine that she takes an inter? est in you. When he sat down before the instru? ment, his hand trembled so that he could scarcely form the dots and dashes to ask "Is that really you. Amy?" He gave his own signal. "O. M." "Yes, Charlie, and I'm so gh?* y<n ere well again. " Her reply was as Hut tering as his question had been treiau- ? lons. Seine of the operators in the New York ofnc< wondered at seeing a young man sitting at an instrument with tears of j oy streaming down his face, while : the Chicago office there was surprise 'vCaaso a girl was crying ami smiling ut the same time. When he recovered his equanimity, O'Meara said : "They told me your were dead, and I l:elieved it. The shock nearlv killed me." "It was merely a rumor. I*ni happy to say, but when I came back to work I was greatly depressed at hearing you were so ill. Now we will both be well and happy again. " "? will never be thoroughly happy, my darling," O'Meara replied, 4'until you are my wife. I'm coming out there soon to claim yon. May I?" "Dear me! How can you wish to marry a girl whom you have never seen?" This was another instance of tremu? lousness in transmission. "That's all right," O'Meara said. "I'm willing to risk it if you are. I've known and loved you a long time, even if I haven't seen you. Can I come for you?" "I may be so homely that when you see me you may be terribly disappoint? ed. I may have red hair and freckles, a cast in my eye and a terrible hump on my back. Could you stand all that ?" "Yes," replied O'Meara, 4'if you could stand my bald head and red nose. " Theie was more of this pleasantry, and then Miss Davidson seriously agreed to marry her distant lover. After many more conversations on the wire it was agreed that Miss Davidson and O'Meara should meet at a half way point. Pitts? burg being finally selected, where they should be married. This course was chosen in the hope that the consumma? tion of their peculiar courtship could be accomplished secretly, thus avoiding the good natured but embarrassing chaffing of their fellow operators. But that wire on which they made their arrangements ran through the Pittsburg office, where there were auto? matic repeating instruments. An oper? ator standing beside the repeaters one day overheard the final arrangements, heard the description each gave the oth? er by which to insure identification at the depot, and told all about it to the Pittsburg operators, who thereupon de? termined to make the occasion of the wedding interesting. A committee was appointed to watch the meeting of the couple and to prepare for a reception. O'Meara arrived at Pittsburg a day ahead of Miss Davidson, as had been agreed upon, and was at the station on the following day when her train pulled in from the west His heart was beat? ing wildly as he scanned the alighting passengers, and he was too preoccupied to notice that he was being watched by half a dozen young men. Nor did he notice that he was ob? served closely by a tall, bronze haired and decidedly handsome ycung woman who had alighted from a Pullman car and was standing in the shadow of a baggage truck loaded with trunks. There was a smile on the young wom? an's face as she finally stepped forward and touched O'Meara on the shoulder. "How d'ye do. Charlie?" she said. "Are you really Amy?" he cried, grasping her outstretched hands in both of his. "You told me to look out for a short, curly haired girl, with a limp in her left foot, and I gave you an accu? rate description of myself." "Not so very accurate, though," she laughingly replied. 44You didn't tell me half how good looking you are. " It was evident to the watchers, who now came forward, that they were pret? ty well satisfied with each other. The committee introduced themselves and announced that the couple were to be conducted forthwith to a hotel, where, at 8 o'clock that evening, they were to be married. This arrangement was car? ried out, and during the evening the Pittsburg operators and their wives and daughters attended the wedding recep? tion and supper at the hoteL O'Meara is now an officer in the sig? nal corps and has distinguished him? self in the war withJSpain. RAN A RACE WITH DEATH. A high trestle bridge more than a quarter of a mile long, supporting the single track of the Nickel Plate rail? road, spans the valley of Grand river, east of Painesville, O. The bridge is little wider than the distance between the rails, and the ties are placed eight or ten inches apart, the space between being open to the river below. A young man who crossed recently had a thrilling experience on the bridge. ,He had just passed the center when a fast train rounded the curve behind Lim. As the engine whistled he quickened his pace. With every step the train was rushing nearer, and there was not a moment to lose. Once the young man stumbled and seemed about to fall, but quickly re? gained his balance and hurried on. As he reached the place for which he had started the train was close behind, and he had just time to swing himself over the side of the bridge as the locomotive thundered by. The ends of the ties were slippery with grease from drip? ping axle boxes, and his foot slipped wide as he left the track. His right hand, stretched blindly out before him. touched a round iron bar. bracing two parts of the bridge, and. with a grip , like that of a drowning man, his fin- I gers clasped around it. For a moment he swung in empty air. In another his J left hand had found a place beside his ; rigfc' and his feet touched the wei '? come edge of a brace beiow. With j bleeding fingers clutching the slender iron bar that vibrated widely from side to side, moments seemed hours. At hst the train passed, and the youmr man was able to climb slowly to the traci: above, t"mien ?'<i by tho try? ing experience, he lay for a mom ont stretched across the rails and. then rising to his feet, with blanched face and unsteady limbs, mad?' his way to firm ground.-Cleveland Leader. HUMOR OF THE HOUR. One of Detroit's wealthiest men has a big farm out lu rho state and runs it on business principles, ile bas a neph? ew with plenty o? money, but no am? bition. The uncle called this young man into the office and told him he would do well to get away fur a time from his present associations. "Why not go out to my farra for awhile and take charge of one of the departments?" "Departments?" "Yes. I have a man at the head of the farming department, one in charge of the dairy, a head stableman, a chief gardener, aud so on. Every man makes regular reports. There is a bookkeeper, and I know to a cent how things are going. Try it. You'll have a change, it will be healthy, you'll ac? quire regular habits, and you may be? come interested in the business." The novelty o? the thing attracted the young man. and he went. "I'm the water board," the nephew telegraphed within a few days. The uncle replied, asking an explana? tion. "I look after the water supply," came by return mail. "If the river or wells run dry, I'll notify you at once. Mean? time I'm a political machine. Every man on the place is pledged to vote as I direct They think that because I'm the 'governor's' nephew I'm the boss, with power to promote or advance." The uncle is out at the farm now, wrestling with the situation.-Detroit Free Fress. Reflections of a Bachelor. The first requisite of a bride is a large capacity to be foolish and not care if she is. A little boy is nine-tenths devil and one-tenth angel. He would be bad enough if the proportion were the oth? er way round. The girl who wants to get married and can't may deserve pity from some? body, but the girl who can .get married and won't deserves the admiration of the world. If women weren't so dead set on do? ing the things men don't want them to do. probably they'd be just as contrary not doing the things men want them to do.-New York Press. The Wise Cop. "Now, young feller, w'y will you cry? Do try to remember your name. It can't be so long ago since you woz christened."-Scraps. Absentminded. The Professor (on his summer vaca? tion)-My dear, this is where our rail wa}- journey ends. We shaU wheel the rest of the way on a smooth turnpike. The Professor's Wife-I know it, but where is our tandem? I didn't see the baggagemau put it off the car. The Professor-The tandem? Sure enough! I knew I had forgotten some? thing!-Chicago Tribune. Reflection on the Father. "See here, Moike," said an aged Irish citizen to his grown son, "Ol be afther hearin this mornin that yez broke up th' meetln at th' hall las' noight an car? ried on with a high hand. Th' nex' thing yez know yez'll be draggin yer ould father's name into yerre scrapes by causin people to say that yer're a ehip^offen th' ould block."-Ohio State Journal. Deserved to Be Kicked. "Barlow is a fellow who has abso? lutely no tact." "What has he done?" "I took him around to call on the Frost girls the other night, and he sat there and fanned himself all evening and declared at least a dozen times that he never knew it to be so hot be? fore."-Chicago Times-Herald. Kow She's Got Him! "Harry tells me that his father died of indigestion," said the bride of a month. "I'm awfully glad I found it out." "Why so?" asked her dearest friend. "Because," was the reply, "Harry will never dare refer to the bread and pies his mother used to make."-Chica? go News. The Gate Is the Goal. "The race for the Golden Gate be? tween the soldiers and the reception committee Is very exciting." said Mr. Bloomfield.

Republican State Convention. The Republicans of South Carolina met in Convention in Columbia yes terday Sumter County was repre sented by W W R^meey, W J Andrews, Z E Waiker and G W Mur ray The State prefaces l^ts report of the proceedings as follows : The convention yesterday was the same as almost any other convention in the last ten years. One had but to take any one of those by gone con? ventions, run up the date to 1900. and see that those who were doing the talking were the same men with the same laces and in some instances with the same hats. The only familiar figures missing were those of Fred Nix, who has has ceased to at? tend earthly conventions, Tom Mil? ler. W W Russell and Melton. There was Uncle Robert Smalls and George Washington Murray? and Webster, and Seymour Smith, the "genn?'?n from Aiken viii Charles ton;" and Prof Morris, and Fordham, and Edmund H Deas, and Jno R Toi bert, and Red Tolbert, and Jim and Joe Tolbert, and Purvis and Dicker son, and Screven and no end of others whose names are famiiiar on up to the venerable "Uncle Tom" the Rev D S Rice, who combines religion and politics, never missing a convention, and having the better of Bob Smalls on age. There was nothing unusual about the 1900 convention eave that the two factions were together once more and holding but one convention The following were elected dele? gates to the national convention at Philadelphia June 19, E H. Deas of Darlington, E A. Webster of Orangeburg, Robert Smalls of Beau? fort. R R Tolbert of Abbeville The following were elected alter | nates ; Abai! Lathrop, S D Pointer, R E. Williams and A S Johnson THE PLATFORM We, the Republicans of the State of South Carolina, in convention as sembled, reaffirm out adherence to the declaration of principle enunci ated in the platform of the national convention at St Louis, upon which McKiniey and Hobart were nomi nated, and which the American peo pie so emphatically endorsed at the polls io November, 1896 We congratulate the American people upon the era of industrial prosperity so auspiciously begun and grandly kept up under the admin istration of President McKinley ; and upon the further fact that they have the keenness and foresight to see and know that Bryanism and Democracy are menaces to these excellent conditions, and that their triumph would serve only to bring a return of industrial depression, idle ness and want to the laboring classes and farmers with national dishonor, and the humiliation of our republic in the eyes of progressive nations of the worid We endorse the course of the present administration in so nobly and wisely seeking to guard the results of the triumph of the Amer? ican army and navy in rescuing millions of people from the yoke of Spanish oppression, by instituting. American authority in our newly acquired territory, till the people of these possebsion8 are able to establish and maintain stable governments of their own We still protest against the sup? pression of the ballott of the citizens of Sooth Carolina by the criminal nullification of tbe constitution and laws of the United States, enacted UDder the color of law by the so called constitution of 1895. And we contend that the unjust deprivation of one hundred thousand citizens of the -State of their right of suffrage is a crime against the government, which we call upon congress to place the seal of condemnation upon by enacting such laws as will protect the citizens of the United States io the highest right of citizenship-a voice in the selection of their public officers-and thus preserve in its purity the American doctrine that . All governments derive their just power from the consent of the gov erned " We insist upon free, honest and enlightened ballot as the bul? wark of our republican form of gov? ernment and the great palladium of the rights and liberties of the peo pie We condemn the Democratic party of the State for its ruthless rape of the ballot, by which they accomplish present political ends and warn them that they thus plant the seed of sin and crime in the breast of the youth of the State, which will some day return to plague them For the national defeope, for rein? forcement of the navy, for tbe enlarge meot of our foreign markets, for tbe employment of American working mes- io tho mioes, forests, farms, mills, factories ana shipyards, we demand :be immediate enactmeot of legielatioo similar to that reported to each branch or congres, so that American-b?ilr, American owned s>nd Americao-manoc-d .-hips may regain tbe carrying of our foreign commerce. We condemn th" oritne of lyoehing ?i ; i ii i he unmentionable crime which u*ua'>!y causea ir. bu? we insist that rbi; legally constituted authorities ar? I adequate tn properly fry. and j u r ? ! y 1 convict, all panie? tn the State for whatever orune riley may b<> guilty, and we deplore any sert to onb law as beiog subversive to law aod order, degrading and corrupting ia its influ? ences upon the youth of the State and country, ^hich, if cot abated, will scon be as detrimental to the best interest of the lana as the crime which the mob so summarily geeks to avenge. We reecho the sentiments of President McKinley, that the "courts and not the mob shouid execute the iaw.;' And to this end we invoke the aid of the pulpit aud the press and the moral influence of the good people everywhere, to arou.-e an enlightened public sentiment against "'lynch iaw," and the crimes that generally cail it into execution ; that neither the law of the home or the law of land be violated and that they both be saved from degradation and ruin. In the original platform proposed to the committee were planks condemning the "cruelties practiced" at the peni tentiary, aod one of the severest arraignments of the dispensary i&w I ever prepared, dealing with the scan? dals. This, however, was not presented to the convention On motion of Dickerson, McKinley's administration was eodorsod, and the delegates at large were pledged to his reelection The Webeter slate of delegates had gone through like a fla?h A Woman Murdered and Her Body Then Burned.
